What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? Sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to tr

ansfer when the molecules are close together. Sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. Sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. Sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.

The speed of sound depends on any form of matter or medium in which sound travels through it and depends on the amount of molecular collisions. Sound travels slowest in gas in the form of steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart making it harder for the energy of vibrations hit the particles and make sound.

Moreover, sound travelling through solids like ice is much faster because the particles are closer together so the sound waves do not have to travel that far making the number of collisions greater and sound spread more easily.

Un satélite geoestacionario se encuentra a una distancia de 120.000 km sobre la superficie de Júpiter. Determine: a. El periodo
Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) a geostationary satellite is that it is always at the same point with respect to the planet,

b) f = 2.7777 10⁻⁵ Hz

c)                           d)   w = 1.745 10⁻⁴ rad / s

Explanation:

a) The definition of a geostationary satellite is that it is always at the same point with respect to the planet, that is, its period of revolutions is the same as the period of the planet

  •                T = 10 h (3600 s / 1h) = 3.6 104 s

b) the period the frequency are related

                T = 1 / f

                 f = 1 / T

                 f = 1 / 3.6 104

                 f = 2.7777 10⁻⁵ Hz

c) the distance traveled by the satellite in 1 day

The distance traveled is equal to the length of the circumference

                 d = 2pi (R + r)

                 d = 2pi (69 911 103 + 120 106)

                 d = 1193.24 m

d) the angular velocity is the angle traveled between the time used.

                 .w = 2pi /t

                  w = 2pi / 3.6 10⁴

                  w = 1.745 10⁻⁴ rad / s

how fast is

                  v = w r

                  v = 1.75 10-4 (69.911 106 + 120 106)

                  v = 190017 m / s

You are an evolutionary biologist studying a population of bats in the rain forest in Brazil. Most of the population possesses m
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

In the stabilizing natural selection, the extreme traits from both the ends are eliminated by natural selection and natural selection favors the intermediate trait. So over time individuals having the intermediate traits are selected over the individuals having extreme traits.

So here the population of the bat which possesses moderate wing length is selected over the individual with extreme traits like individuals with short wings and long wings. As a result, the population of moderate length wing bats increased.

Therefore the correct answer is (B)- stabilizing natural selection.
